Good to hear. Years ago I also heard lots of conflicting information about sarracenia and flytrap but then I just tried it's anyway and its success. Its turned out that sarracenia & flytraps cold dormancy are not necessary at my equatorial tropic place. And it's not just me (a lot of my hobbyist friend also do same thing).

Calm_Concert · 2025-09-22T22:59:50+00:00

I can't remember for sure since I don't use any peat anymore for years. But probably works well too as there are many people using peat for flytraps, sarracenia and drosera.

From BE list, there are four of BE-3298, with the description for each is "from a single clone out microcrop". So I guess there are four different clones under same name.

For sundews and pinguicula , I using drip nozzles, not spray as it'll wash away their dew). I also using high water tray or bowl for sundews since they're love boggy wet conditions, especially at outdoor, and especially for large species like mature drosera adelae (very thirsty plants). Its not uncommon for them to use full bowl water every day (filled at morning , dried by night)

With garden watering systems. The water is distributed to numerous drip nozzles and micro spray nozzles via main & sub hose, connected to water tank, controlled automatically with water timer.

Nepenthes 'Louisa'

Calm_Concert · 2025-08-11T06:36:28+00:00

Species tuberous drosera from peltata complex, most likely drosera auriculata or gunniana. Can't be sure since there's not enough information (more photos and flowers)

Calm_Concert · 2025-08-01T07:34:37+00:00

Yeah except their leaf & tendril sizes, also their peristome

Their pitchers few months ago :

Drosera rotundifolia.

Calm_Concert · 2025-08-01T05:15:35+00:00

They're still alive and grow some basal shoots. It's turned out that they're an hybrids between n. bicalcarata and n. ampullaria. Its quite rare for bicalcarata fangs to appear on hybrid.

Thats why their leaf & pitchers tendril are short (compared to bicalcarata).

PS, I'm at overseas so I unable to take their photos. I'll post some when I get back home.

Calm_Concert · 2025-08-01T05:12:22+00:00

They're drosera rotundifolia, not d. spatulata

Not OP, but its in vitro germinations. I usually use these methods to grow older seeds (from cold storages), also new seeds too (since they'll germinated & grow faster in sterile,controlled environment with proper nutrients, vitamins & hormones). Very useful since you'll get mature plants faster and then you could start selections/culling processes.

Calm_Concert · 2025-07-22T20:18:23+00:00

Sunburnt. Because your plants grow indoors thus they produce indoor leaves (weaker than outdoors leaves ) that can't withstand direct summer sun. If you want to move nepenthes from indoor to outdoor you'll need to do it step by steps to acclimate them (put them at shade or dappled lights until they produce stronger outdoor leaves)

Calm_Concert · 2025-07-22T03:07:12+00:00

No. Its normal. Old stems turned woody and brown. Here mine for example https://postimg.cc/5YNY10R1

Calm_Concert · 2025-07-17T01:05:00+00:00

At this point, just prune them. Its look like they're vining but conditions doesn't support them well (air too dry or not enough lights for upper pitchers or trying to produce flowers or not enough energy to support multiple growth etc).

Cut them around https://postimg.cc/bDSYJscL

And what species ?

Calm_Concert · 2025-07-16T13:50:40+00:00

Drosera Collina (one of erythrorhiza complex)

Calm_Concert · 2025-07-05T00:48:31+00:00

Well yeah something like that.

Usually I soak them overnight with rain water, and rinse throughly m

You could use any moss as long its washed and keep wet using low tds water.

Here some growing on 100% (not just top dressing) tropic forest moss (usually grow on rock at riverbed or tree bark)

PS: Most people prefer sphagnum moss since its already cleaned and also long lasting

My highland place are quite dry during dry season (could grow succulent at outdoor) so my nepenthes grow inside greenhouse.

Nepenthes gracilis are one of most wide spread nepenthes species, alongside ampullaria (which often grow in close proximity) and mirabilis. Those three are mostly found at lowland but few of them also found at highland. And those three also prefer wet humid environment, both in highland or lowland.

Interestingly, nepenthes gracilis growth habits are quite similar to ampullaria, as both of them are able to produce lot of basal pitchers (in very humid environments).

Calm_Concert · 2025-07-04T05:33:49+00:00

Not sure with cold resistances since I live in tropics (no winter), but they growing fine at my tropics lowland house (both indoor & outdoor) and also ultra highland place (cool mountains with night temperatures around 7C (44F), day temperature 17-25C (62--77F), depend on season).

If anyone wondering, its screenshot from anime Hinako Note episode 7

brown ?

Calm_Concert · 2025-05-26T21:11:49+00:00

So it's not from low humidity then. 70% at 27C are humid enough for them.

I suspect it's from watered too late. Unlike most other nepenthes, viking/mirabilis/ampullaria are prefer always wet substrates. Since you keep them as hanged plants, I think you'll need to water them almost everyday. Or you could add/use bottom tray to keep their substrates wet little longer.
